Thanks Joe, I will try that, seems logical. It's strange how the timings are bang on, 3 seconds of sound, 10 seconds of silence, constant for over 10 minutes - the same applies to the CD. Hopefully your suggestion will remedy the problem.

I recently purchased a Jaguar X 2008. The battery was changed whilst the car was in the garage (before I bought it). When I bought it the radio needed a code and no one knew it. I spoke to the local Jaguar dealer and they were most helpful and able to give me the code and lo and behold the radio came to life! However when it plays now it is intermittent constantly which makes me feel there is something that needs to be reset..? The radio and CD plays for 3 seconds, then goes silent for 10 seconds, then plays for 3 seconds and silent for 10. This is continual. Anyone experienced this or have any advice. I am determined I'm going to enjoy this car. Thanks in advance

South Wales. I like the Jaguar I've bought but am a bit fearful that it could be problematic, that's the pessimist in me, the first time I've bought a second hand car that's so old. i don't think the garage I had it from is particularly good so realise I will have no support. The screenwash doesn't work (guess it will be the pump). The screenwash is filled with plain water. Came with only one key (advertised as two) Battery was changed and they didn't have the radio code, never told me this, even though they knew. The nearside headlamp is misted up condensation, would've liked them to have checked and fixed it. The low outside temperature light comes on when it's not too cold and seems too warm. The odometer works but the trip computer seems temperamental and only works when it feels like it. Still the car is a nice drive, I just hope not too much else goes wrong with it. All the above can and will be fixed, it'll be a good project. Any tips would be appreciated. thanks all.

Hi all, new here but finding the site really informative. Today I bought a 2008 S Type Jaguar. Really like the car, is a good driving experience and for its age and mileage (84k) the vehicle is in good nick. Trouble is, the radio doesn't work. The garage I bought it from put a new battery in and the code is needed. Unfortunately they don't have the code though they said they'd get it if I called them saying I couldn't find it in the paperwork. My first post has a few questions... 1. Will the vehicle have a DAB radio? I know I should know this but I don't. It never was a selling point in the adverts so I think most likely not - that said the owners manual does gave extensive information about the DAB radio. 2. I went to Jaguar this afternoon to see if they could help with the code, I was told they could but I'd gave to go back Monday when the Service department was open. Fair enough I guess. 3. If the radio isn't a DAB model, I will put n an adapter, does anyone gave any recommendation as yo which is the best / most compatible? 4. Does anyone have any information about breaking the radio code? Tried the pressing the buttons option, no joy, still if not it's off to Jaguar Swansea on Monday. Thanks in anticipation, I think I an going to be a major benefactor of thus site. Tony
